Homecoming Concert Staring Wale with Special Guest K. Michelle
K. Michelle and Wale came and delivered a wonderful homecoming concert here at FSU. They controlled the crowd with their energy, and left their hearts out on the stage. K. Michelle came out looking fantastic and put the vocals behind her appearance to truly wow the crowd. Wale came out and wowed the crowd with his lyrics and his signature kicks. They each brought a different feel to the concert that balanced out perfectly on the stage.
K. Michelle won the crowd over early connecting with every girl in the audience dealing with relationship issues. She provided inspiration in her own raw way that the crowd connected with because it was sincere. She also allowed audience members the opportunity to sing one of her favorite songs, because she said no one allowed her a chance and that is something that she wanted to do for others now that she got her shot. FSU’s own Shakieviea Gilchrist blazed the stage with her rendition of, “I’m going down”, by Mary J. Blige and received a standing ovation after her performance. K Michelle’s performance was amazing not only because she delivered a great performance, but she left room to give back and that is not something you see often with celebrities.
Wale took over the stage and delivered a performance that the fellas could relate to. The crowd rapped along to every song he performed, finally seeing on stage what they play on their phones and stereos nearly every day. Wale stayed true to his D.C. roots and played a set that the DMV students here at FSU truly enjoyed. His energy on stage was hard to match and he showed just how much he appreciates his fan base by allowing them to choose certain songs that he performed. Towards the end of his performance, Wale autographed shoes, phones, and articles of clothing to really bring home the fact that he is all about his fans. Overall the Homecoming concert was an amazing experience for everyone in attendance, and truly a night to remember.
